The Vog

"Vog," on the big island of Hawaii, is actually fog generated from the gases spewing out of the active volcano. This "foggy" entry for Illustration Friday is a view of Maui from the big island. The nearby island is seen rising up above the ocean and the Vog. Cardinals were everywhere in Hawaii (usually in pairs) so I added one here.

Baby

Illustration for illustrationfriday.com.

I did this drawing years ago when I was trying to write and illustrate a children's story about a magic ball. Baby wanted to go outside. Because she couldn't talk, she made a wish while holding her little red ball. When baby handed the ball to her mother, her mother got the message and baby got to go outside. Like most of my stories it didn't go anywhere after that.

Primitive Weevil

Primitive Weevil for Illustrative Friday's word PRIMITIVE. This weevil lives in forests in tropical regions so I put her in a picture of a tree in Santa Barbara painted by my mother (which I altered!).

I like to draw insects. They are endlessly fascinating.
